DISASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS
- Never use pliers or similar tools to loosen and/or tighten nuts and bolts. Always use a suitable wrench.
- Mark all connections (hoses, wiring, etc.) with their positions before disconnecting them. Identify each connection
using a distinctive symbol or convention.
- Mark each part clearly to avoid confusion when refitting.
- Thoroughly clean and wash any components that you removed using a detergent with low flash point.
- Mated parts should always be refitted together. These parts will have seated themselves against one another in ser-
vice as a result of normal wear and tear and should never be mixed up with other similar parts on refitting.
- Certain components are matched-pair parts and should always be replaced as a set.
- Keep the motorcycle and its components well away from heat sources.
REASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS
DANGER
Never reuse a circlip or snap ring. These parts must always be replaced once they have been shifted.
When fitting a new circlip or snap ring, take care to move the open ends apart just enough to allow fitting
in the shaft.
Make a rule to check that a newly –fitted circlip or snap ring has located fully into its groove.
Never clean a bearing with compressed air.
NOTE All bearings must rotate freely with no hardness or noise. Replace any bearings that do not meet these
requirements.
- Use ORIGINAL Aprilia SPARE PARTS only.
- Use the specified lubricants and consumables.
- Where possible, lubricate a part before assembly.
- When tightening nuts and bolts, start with the largest or innermost nut/bolt and observe a cross pattern. Tighten e-
venly in subsequent steps until achieving the specified torque.
- Replace any self-locking nuts, gaskets, seals, circlips or snap rings, O-rings, split pins, bolts and screws which have
a damaged thread.
- Lubricate the bearings abundantly before assembly.
- Make a rule to check that all components you have fitted are correctly in place.
- After repairing the motorcycle and after each service inspection, perform the preliminary checks, and then drive the
motorcycle in a private estate area or in a safe area away from traffic.
- Clean all joint surfaces, oil seal edges and gaskets before assembly. Apply a light coat of lithium grease along the
edges of oil seals. Fit oil seals and bearings with the marking or serial number facing outwards (in view).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
To disconnect the electrical connector, follow the procedures below. Failure to comply with these procedures may lead to
irreparable damages to the connector and the wiring as well. If present, press the special safety hooks.
WARNING
Do not pull cables to disconnect the two connectors.
•
Grasp the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in the two opposite directions.
• In case of dirt, rust, moisture, and so on, thoroughly clean the inside of the connectors with compressed air.
•
Make sure that the cables are correctly fitted inside the connectors’ terminals.
NOTE The two connectors have just one correct positioning. Make sure to position them in the right direction.
Then fit the two connectors. Make sure they are correctly coupled (a click will be heard).
TIGHTENING TORQUE SETTINGS
DANGER
Always remember that the tightening torque settings of all wheel, brake, wheel shaft and other
suspension parts play a fundamental role to ensure vehicle safety. Make sure that these values are
always within the specified limits.
Check fastening parts tightening torque settings at regular intervals. Upon reassembly, always use a
torque wrench.
Failure to comply with these recommendations could lead to the loosening and detachment of one of
these parts with a consequent locking of the wheel or other serious troubles affecting the vehicle
handling, and thus the risk of falls and serious injuries or death.
